From the combined sales of all the gorillas the auction raised an amazing £427,000 for the charities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super G was actually bought by a trio of partners: St Nicholas Market traders, Destination Bristol and Bristol City Council, and this week has returned to the foyer entrance of the Exchange Market on Corn Street. The partners' intention is that Super G should remain visible to the public as part of the Wow!Gorillas legacy- he is currently back at his 'spiritual home' of St Nic's, but in the coming months Super G may well become a roving ambassador for Bristol and visit other parts of the city centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Sawyer, one of the original traders to sponsor Super G commented "Throughout the summer Super G was super fun. Shoppers loved his bright, colourful presence and he became the market's mascot. We are all delighted to have Super G back!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7063136945264209520-4889046013686841118?l=carys-ink.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7063136945264209520/posts/default/4889046013686841118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7063136945264209520/posts/default/4889046013686841118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carys-ink.blogspot.com/2011/10/super-g-returns.html' title='Super-G Returns!'/><author><name>Carys Tait</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17456479367259268710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kSwMD6WrLkE/TvOe8euZBRI/AAAAAAAAAfI/qWTQvByyVsQ/s220/me_crop_new2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R95rKukf4gE/Tqmhi-vel7I/AAAAAAAAAbk/KULXiPtBLcs/s72-c/asuper_G_stnics02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063136945264209520.post-7903836861236755676</id><published>2011-07-05T09:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-05T09:42:52.863+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='submission'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gorilla'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><title type='text'>Super G - in location</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ionC0Q29s6o/ThLI6d048RI/AAAAAAAAAaU/lJAsX5fRpnY/s1600/P1000879.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ionC0Q29s6o/ThLI6d048RI/AAAAAAAAAaU/lJAsX5fRpnY/s640/P1000879.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-koOoCcn8g8Q/ThLJJItus6I/AAAAAAAAAaY/kRTfGsPYMSw/s1600/P1000876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-koOoCcn8g8Q/ThLJJItus6I/AAAAAAAAAaY/kRTfGsPYMSw/s640/P1000876.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-koOoCcn8g8Q/ThLJJItus6I/AAAAAAAAAaY/kRTfGsPYMSw/s1600/P1000876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g50FBotm2KY/ThLJK9NwIiI/AAAAAAAAAac/4BX4ty3RLno/s1600/P1000877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g50FBotm2KY/ThLJK9NwIiI/AAAAAAAAAac/4BX4ty3RLno/s400/P1000877.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fkej0Zlid4g/ThLKAoZQxNI/AAAAAAAAAag/0FVyas5vnE8/s1600/P1000882.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fkej0Zlid4g/ThLKAoZQxNI/AAAAAAAAAag/0FVyas5vnE8/s400/P1000882.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Here is my gorilla "Super G" in position at St Nick's market!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;High up on top of one of the stalls in the covered market is his first placing, though I believe he will be moving around within the market over the next 10 weeks to link in with weekly competitions to win £50 shopping vouchers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Read down for previous postings to find out more about the Wow!

It has been great fun, a steep learning curve and pretty stressful at times, but I'm really pleased with the outcome which is very very close to the original design. To re-cap my concept which I submitted in January this year:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Super G is King of the mountains and big hills, a racing champion on the Alpine ski circuit. Off-season he gets his thrills where he can, and for whatever reason this summer he finds himself in Bristol. From the top: Blackboy Hill/Whiteladies Road/Park Street is an exhilerating walk in the park for this downhill supremo...

The building is now being reclaimed as a public space - cafe, library, art-space and live music venue... in addition to housing the shop of new owner - Retro Collectables - to display a huge range of (as the name suggests ) Retro collectables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was asked to illustrate a banner for the new website, which is currently under construction. Above is what i came up with... I look forward to seeing the space open, and watching how it evolves, sounds like an exciting prospect!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7063136945264209520-5258807771088226083?l=carys-ink.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7063136945264209520/posts/default/5258807771088226083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7063136945264209520/posts/default/5258807771088226083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carys-ink.blogspot.com/2011/03/zion.html' title='Zion'/><author><name>Carys Tait</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17456479367259268710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kSwMD6WrLkE/TvOe8euZBRI/AAAAAAAAAfI/qWTQvByyVsQ/s220/me_crop_new2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xD-vV44p4us/TZDzEhKqMBI/AAAAAAAAAYI/1wHPIvfhx8g/s72-c/zion.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063136945264209520.post-9126338829238560183</id><published>2010-11-15T22:58:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-11-15T22:58:46.103Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vector'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='submission'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustration'/><title type='text'>Dinosaurus - Shadow Screen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She has been exhibiting at trade shows and selling through various retail outlets but is soon to launch a new e-commerce site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was asked to design a new logo and business cards initially, and then carry this through to stickers which would be used for packaging, before moving on to design the website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The business card uses the chosen logo, from a number of designs I created.
